2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA TOURING Recalls, Complaints & Safety

I own a 2010 Hyundai Elantra that has experienced a sudden loss of power steering assist on multiple occasions. When this happens, the steering wheel becomes very difficult to turn, especially when maneuvering at low speeds or parking. The EPS light comes on and stays illuminated. This creates a serious safety hazard, particularly when driving with children or in traffic. I am aware of Hyundai Recall 127 (NHTSA Campaign 15V100000), which addresses the same issue, but my VIN is not included. I am requesting that Hyundai investigate and provide the same repair remedy for vehicles outside the initial recall VIN range that are experiencing identical failures.

ABS Module short circuit, I am aware of the current recall in effect for 2011 Hyundai Elantra's but it should be noted that my vehicle also has the same issue, short circuit causing the ABS motor to run constantly. Issue was discovered by mechanic, I opted to disconnect the ABS module, as replacement is unaffordable. Is there any plan to expand the recall to include my vehicle?

MY DEALER ALLEDGELY FIXED THE RECALL IN 2021 ALONG WITH 2 OTHER RECALLS. AT THAT TIME I HAD NO PROBLEM WITH MY STEERING. NOW 2 YEARS LATER MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN IN A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION AND HASN'T WORKED SINCE. THE DEALER WOULD NOT FIX BECAUSE THEY SAID MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. HYUNDAI USA ALSO REVIEWED AND DENIED ME. ON THEIR WEBPAGE, IT DOES NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT A TIME LIMIT ON THEIR RECALL. IT IS A RECALL AND NOT A WARRANTY CONCERN. BELOW I SEND 2 PICS TAKEN OFF THEIR WEBPAGE. PLEASE HELP ME. THANK YOU.

My power steering just stopped working. There was a safety recall on my car. i did not receive a warning notice. On Hyundai's website i entered my vin # and it said my car was affected and would be fixed free of charge or if I had already paid I would be reimbursed. The dealership refused to honor the recall. I called several times to HyundaiUSA and finally they said my car was out of warranty. No where online did it say the recall had to be fixed before the warranty ended. They just refused me and told me to take it up to someone else. I have a 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring. I did not cause this problem, they admit in the recall that there is a problem but are looking for a loop hole to get out of fixing it. Please help. Thank you. vin # [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the Engine Control Unit (ECU) warning light illuminated, and the power steering assist failed to operate as needed. The contact stated that after restarting the vehicle, the power steering assist functionality returned. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V100000 (Steering). The contact notified the manufacturer of the failure and was initially informed that the VIN was under recall; however, later the contact was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 136,000.

I have a 2010 Hyundai Elantra. On Saturday, July 22, 2023, after the car was put into park in my fathers driveway and the emergency brake put on, the front driver and passenger bags deployed. The force of it's deployment cracked the windshield in several places on the passenger side. There were no warning lights or indications that this would occur. The car was in park. The seatbelts are in a locked (not able to retract) form, so the car is not drivable. The two individuals in the front seat were disoriented for a short time. All 4 passengers in the car experienced ringing in the ears for approximately 3 hours, but are ultimately, physically alright, however, not mentally. If this had occurred in another setting, the risk of accident or other safety measures would have been grand, but luckily it happened at the home of a family member. The airbag malfunction needs to be eligible to be fixed and not at the expense of me the owner. The car has a camera located in it and it captured all items listed above. The video may be provided. The Hyundai corporate office has been contacted and an incident file opened. The insurance company has been contacted, as well. Nothing has been done with the car, as the corporate office noted that they may need to see it in it's original state.

Turning onto my street and continued two hundred feet to my driveway I had to turn the steering wheel one quarter to the left to keep the car straight on the road. On inspection of the vehicle I noticed the left rear wheel was at an angle. Further inspection showed the suspension had departed.

I received a letter from Hyundai telling me to have the work done, but there are no dealerships in my area willing to schedule me for an appointment. I attempted to use the www.hyundaiUSA.com/Campaign188 website to schedule an appointment based on my zip code. Five dealerships came up. Of those five, two had scheduling greyed out and the other three went to an error screen.

I pulled up to my house, turned the ignition off, and the airbag deployed in my face.

I bought this vehicle used, just three years ago. It had a little over 100k miles on it. Since purchase date, the car has died at least eight times and I've had to take it in for inspection four times. It has had three different batteries. The service techs have not been able to find anything technically wring with the car: alternator fine, engine fine, batteries fine, no reported power draws... yet I am still continuously finding myself stuck with a dead car. There was a bluetooth system in the vehicle when I bought it, but the second time it died, the service tech removed it in case that was what was drawing out power. However, it had died six times since.

While driving uphill, I let my foot off the gas pedal to make an upcoming turn. The car continued to accelerate, the brake pedal wouldn’t stop the car. Neutral made engine race to red-line. Turned ignition off and used hand brake, damaging handbrake shoes. Had car towed to dealership in Debuque, Iowa. After a few days was told that the floor mat had come loose and wedged accelerator down. Removed mat. 24 months later car accelerated the same way, unwanted, with brake pedal not stopping the car. There is no car mat to get stuck. Turned ignition off and used handbrake. Will be bringing car to a mechanic.

Traveling 25-30 MPH on a gravel road, car shuddered and seemed to tilt sightly to the left. At the same time a loud grinding noise was heard and steering felt funny. On stopping and exiting the car, I saw the left rear wheel was toed to the left, and leaning so that the top of the tire was extended beyond the fender arch. Looking beneath the car, I could see the left rear control arm had torn loose from it's pivot point near the center of the uni-body, due to corrosion. The wheel hub was attached to the car solely by the torsion bar, brake line, and strut. The car had passed a state safety inspection exactly one year previous, and has approximately 115K miles, primarily in Maine. There was NO warning before the failure, such as sloppy steering or unstable handling. The gravel road where the failure occurred leads to my vacation cabin. To get there and return home I must cross a mountain pass which is steep and winding both ways, with a speed limit of 50MPH. One side has sheer drop offs, and the other has solid rock ledge. If the failure had happened in this 10 mile stretch, the results could very well have been deadly. Someone may have offered to repair the corrosion damage to the uni-body, but I could never feel comfortable driving the car again. There was no damage to anything but the vehicle itself, so no police report was made. The extremely rural area where the failure occurred made it impractical to get the car to a Hyundai dealer. I junked the car with Dubois Towing and Salvage, 438 River Rd, Mexico, Maine, 04257 (207-364-7273).

I was driving this car and the esc light came on and then off again but i feel the steering became hard and still the steering is hard there is a recall for this car for steering problem please let me know is it safe to drive it or not.

THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER TO STEER WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED, AND UNSAFE WHEN THE POWER STEERING CUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, AND A RECALL NUMBER #127 HAS BEEN ASSIGNED, BUT NO OFFICIAL RECALL TO DATE FOR MY VIN #.

STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST. . NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 15V100000 IS ONLY FOR CAR BUILT BEFORE 4/30/10 AND DOESN'T INCLUDE THE ONES BUILT AFTER WHERE I'M SURE THEY DIDN'T STOP MAKING THEM DIFFERENTLY OR PUTTING DIFFERENT PARTS IN THEM. I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE ONES BUILT BEFORE MAY 1ST AND MANY OTHERS ARE AS WELL AND THIS RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE ALL 2010 CARS AND NOT JUST ONES BUILT BEFORE MAY 1ST. I HAVE THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING AND THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNITS LIGHTS ON SHOWING ITS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE REST OF THE 2010 MODEL SO ITS ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE THAT NOT ALL OF THE MODELS BUILT IN 2010 ARE INCLUDED. MY LIGHTS STAY ON CONSTANTLY AT ANY SPEED WHAT SO EVER AND LIKE THE RECALL STATES IF POWER STEERING ASSIST IS LOST, GREATER DRIVER EFFORT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO STEER THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. IF I DIE IN A CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM LIKE ANY OF THE RECALLS THEY ARE WILING TO PERFORM THEY WILL BE PAYING MILLIONS MORE THAN THE $600 RECALL THEY SHOULD BE DOING TO BEGIN WITH.

FAILURE OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST. THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST OCCUR UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I NOTICED A HEAVY STEERING WHEEL FEEL. THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) SENSE A DISCREPANCY IN THE STEERING INPUT SIGNALS AND DISABLE THE STEERING POWER ASSIST. THE LIGHT TURNED ON. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST IS LOST, GREATER EFFORT BE REQUIRED FOR ME, WHILE I DRIVE, TO STEER THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

IN MY STEERING WHEEL IT MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE. I BROUGHT IT INTO A SERVICE STATION AND THEY TOLD ME IT NEEDED A FLEXIBLE COUPLING GROMT. I DIDN'T DO THIS IT IS ALL THE WAY DOWN IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THEY TOLD ME IT SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS NOTHING I DID. IT DOES THE NOISE WHEN I AM SITTING STILL. IF YOU TURN THE WHEEL IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS CATCHING ON SOMETHING.

THE TIRES WEAR OUT ON THIS VEHICLE, EVEN AFTER BEING PROPERLY ALIGNED! I HAVE HIM THROUGH 4 COMPLETE SETS OF TIRES AND HAVE 110,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE KEPT THE AIR PRESSURE AS IT SHOULD BE AND HAVE ROTATED THE TIRES EVERY 3000 MILES. ALL 4 SETS OF TIRES WORE OUT THE EXACT SAME WAY, WHICH WAS INNER EDGE TREAD WEAR. THE ALIGNMENTS WERE DONE BY HYUNDAI TWICE AND TWO SEPARATE BUSINESSES AFTER THAT. ALL SAID THE ALIGNMENT WAS WITHIN FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO ADJUSTMENTS FOR CASTER AND CAMBER ON THIS VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM CAN APPARENTLY BE REMEDIED WITH AN AFTERMARKET CASTER CAMBER KIT WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY $200. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI, AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET AND LEARNING THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS INCLUDING THE ELANTRA. HYUNDAI ADVISED ME THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR A RECALL. I AM AVERAGING APPROXIMATELY 27,000 MILES PER SET OF TIRES!!! MY HYUNDAI CASE #10494797.

STEERING COLUMN STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL WHEN PARKED OR DRIVING AT LESS THAN 15 MILES PER HOUR INDICATING PLAY IN THE STEERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA TOURING. WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR NO LONGER STAYS UP AND IS A VISIBILITY HAZARD. LOOKING ON LINE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND SOME MODELS ARE ALREADY LISTED FOR THE RECALL HOWEVER NOT THE 2010 ELANTRA TOURING. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY TIME WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY IN MOTION ETC.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING,HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS. UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM AT DEALER. REF. TSB-15-01-019-1

MATERIAL USED IN THE GLS VARIANT'S STEERING WHEEL HAS DEGRADED TO THE POINT THAT THE RUBBER PIECES ARE CRUMBLING IN THE HANDS OF THE DRIVER. THE STEERING WHEEL MATERIAL HAS CRACKED AND DISINTEGRATED. DEALER TOLD ME THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CARS WITH EXCESS OF 14 YEARS OF USE THAT THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED TO.

NO RECALL LETTER RECEIVED FROM HYUNDAI REGARDING POWER STEERING SYSTEM PROBLEM (15V1000000) DESPITE APPARENT SERIOUSNESS OF THE PROBLEM. SYSTEMIC PROBLEM OR LIMITED TO ME ALONE? UPDATED 05/17/18*JB I HAVE CONFIRMED THAT MY VIN IS COVERED BY THE RECALL....UPDATED 12/03/15 *BF UPDATED 4/24/18*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA TOURING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE EXITING THE DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE EPS AND ESC WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

WHILE MY CAR WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY THE BACK GLASS SHATTERED. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA AND NO ONE WAS AROUND. I HAD JUST WENT OUT AND OPENED THE BACK DOORS AND WALKED AROUND THE BACK OF THE CAR AND GONE BACK INTO THE HOUSE FOR A MINUTE AND WHEN I CAME BACK IT WAS SHATTERED. *TR

THIS IS A SECOND ISSUE SAME PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME WAS DECEMBER 29,2014 WENT OUT STARTED THE CAR NO POWER STEERING HAD JUST DROVE THE CAR THE DAY BEFORE OVER HUNDRED MILES SEEMED FINE WELL THE NEXT MORNING THE PROBLEM AROSE WIFE WENT TO GO TO WORK NO POWER STEERING SHE TOOK MY VEHICLE I MISSED WORK TO TAKE INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THAT AFTERNOON THEY RESET THE COMPUTER AND THE CAR DROVE FINE. FAST FORWARD TO MARCH 22,2015 A SUNDAY MORNING GOT INTO THE CAR STARTED IT UP AN NO POWER STEERING SHUT IT OFF RESTARTED IT RAN FINE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP UP THE NEXT MORNING GOT AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED OVER. AGAIN THE SAME ISSUE THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT DRIVING THE CAR WHEN THESE ISSUES HAVE HAPPENED. WE HAVE SEEN THE ARTICLE IN THE PAPER ON THE RECALL BUT AT THIS DATE HYUNDAI HAS NOT NOTIFIED OWNERS OF THE RECALL SO I GUESS WE WAIT AND HOPE WE DO NOT CRASH THE CAR IN THE MEAN TIME. IAM ALSO THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS CAR AND WONDER IF THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE IN THE PAST. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY HEARD A LOUD BANG, AND WAS COVERED IN SHATTERED GLASS AS THE SUNROOF EXPLODED FOR NO REASON. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS RETURNING HOME FROM WORK. THE EPS (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING) LIGHT AND THE ESC LIGHT CAME ON. INDICATING THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING. SHE PULLED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD IN A PANIC AND CALLED ME. I TOLD HER TO GET THE CAR TO AN AUTO ZONE OR ADVANCED AUTO AND HAVE THEM CHECK THE FLUID AND THAT IN THE INTERIM THE STEERING MAY GET VERY HARD AND TO BE CAREFUL. SHE GOT IT TO ADVANCE AUTO AND WAS INFORMED THERE IS NO FLUID BECAUSE IT IS ELECTRONIC AND SHE NEEDED TO GET IT TO THE DEALER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER (GETTEL HYUNDAI IN SARASOTA) AND WAS TOLD THE COUPLER WAS OUT BUT THAT THE CAR WAS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE AND THE LIGHTS WOULD JUST STAY ON OR I COULD PAY $1500 TO HAVE A NEW STEERING COLUMN INSTALLED. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE AS I WAS DRIVING IT THERE AND I WAS HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL SO TIGHT MY FOREARMS WERE SORE BY THE TIME I GOT IT THERE. I AM STILL UNDER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY (BUT NOT THE MILEAGE). I IMMEDIATELY CHECK FOR RECALLS ON NHTSA AND DISCOVER THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS VERY THING. BY THIS TIME THE DEALER WAS CLOSED. CONTACTED THEM FIRST THING IN THE MORNING (TODAY) AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE DEFECTIVE STEERING! THIS IS NOT SOME SORT OF COSMETIC PROBLEM!! HOW CAN A CAR BE SAFE TO DRIVE WITH DEFECTIVE STEERING? WHY ARE THEY NOT HONORING THE RECALL? WE LIVE IN THE COUNTRY AND WE TRAVERSE WINDY ROADS...IF THE STEERING DOES ACTUALLY GO OUT IT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY A FATALITY! IN THE MEAN TIME MY CAR SITS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WE HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK OR FOR ANY EMERGENCY THAT SHOULD OCCUR!!! *TR

THE CHROME COVERED INTERIOR PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE CRACKED AND THE JAGGED METAL EDGE CUT MY PASSENGER'S HAND. MY PASSENGER PULLED THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, THE HANDLE CRACKED, AND THE METAL CUT HIS HAND. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS SIMILAR (PERHAPS IDENTICAL) TO THAT IDENTIFIED IN THE 2002-3 SONATA WHICH PROMPTED A RECALL, BUT I COULD NOT FIND A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY CAR. *TR
